January 19 - Loopy Duckz

"Donald Duck is the most relatable of Disney’s characters because he’s flawed—he's funny because he’s real."

~ John Lasseter

When I was first experimenting with Donald, the top beak was way too fat.  This is probably fine for a normal duck, since proportionally was just a bit off for Donald.  

I also never realized Daisy wore such heavy eye makeup.  This is the first time I have drawn an eye in this way.  I like the way the purpley eye turned out a bit better but went a bit deep and made them angry.  Maybe that fat lip is just botox for her ...

Too dark of a blue for Donald's eyes, but that feels like I'm nitpicking as I'm pretty happy with the final result. 

I've always associated Donald Duck with being a sailor, but it's occurring to me as I see his name written in the wiki that it's just a fancy pants suit for parties with the McDucks -- his full name is Donald "(Little Lord) Fauntleroy" Duck...
